The Mechanism 24
This exceeds the 250W and 25 km/h pedelec rules and is not road-legal in Australia. Closed-course and private land only.
Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders with private land, farm tracks or a beach property who want Vallkree's retro moto style with dual-motor power off-road.
Standout strength
Two 500W hub motors, a 960Wh battery and 24 x 4.0 tyres in Vallkree's hand-finished retro frame with Australian leather seat and grips.
The main compromise
Not road-legal in Australia as an e-bike, and the claimed 40km range is short for the price.
Consider something else if
You want to ride on roads, bike paths or shared paths. Vallkree's 250W Drifter is the road-legal alternative in the same retro style.
Check before you buy
Confirm where you can legally ride it: on public roads or paths it would be treated as an unregistered motor vehicle. The 5 year frame warranty drops to 1 year on electrical parts.
